S a great manufacturing metropolis, the City of Newark, N. J. is one of the most important in the United States. Relatively it is the 13th in the line but because of its location on the Atlantic Seaboard, and its adjacency to New York as the great buying center of the world, and its extraordinary transportation facilities, there is little doubt that the next census will place Newark in the front rank. In population Newark is 11th among American cities, numbering in 1900 over 320,000 inhabitants. The City is twenty-two miles square and has a water frontage of over ten miles. Five trunk lines enter the City over which during each day pass 500 passenger trains and 150 freight trains. There are considerably over three thousand manufacturing establishments in the City of Newark representing invested capital of rising one hundred millions of dollars. More than fifty thousand operatives are employed whose aggregate of wages in one year amounts to nearly thirty millions.

The City of Newark enjoys the distinction of having a greater diversity of industries and a greater output in value of manufactures than any other city in this country estimating on per capita of population. Her goods find a market in every corner of the globe.

In the matter of street railways she boasts the finest electric street railway system in the world, having 179 miles of track carrying annually over seventy millions of passsengers.

As for public education the City has forty-six schools giving instruction to 40,000 pupils. Her school property is valued at over $2,500,000. Newark is justly proud of her beautiful public library, erected at a cost of $350,000.

Newark has many beautiful residences, broad avenues and stately trees and is altogether a most desirable city for business or residence. Her stability in finance was particularly shown during the great crisis of 1907, during which her banks and moneyed institutions were at all times fully able to cope with the situation and the business community felt no lack of confidence nor failed to secure all the money necessary to meet obligations.
